Endorsed by John Ringling himself and optimally situated directly across from beach access #9 on Siesta Key, the Ringling Beach House represents an opportunity to invest in a one-of-a-kind property located on a world-renowned coastline. Originally built in the 1920’s as staff housing for the circus empresario, the old Florida Spanish architecture stands like a historic sand castle moments away from the soft white sands of the beach. 11 resort-style accommodations with both coastal and big top inspired names – like Ringmaster and Sea Turtle – are spread out across the 4 buildings and . 67 acres, delighting with recently updated and furnished interiors. Each unit includes a kitchen fully equipped with everything needed to make a family dinner, separate dining, living and bedroom areas. Some units additionally offer a washer/dryer. Amenities add to the already strong income-producing potential with two pools, outdoor grills, romantic gazebos and lush gardens. Walk across the street with provided beach towels, chairs and umbrellas to enjoy a day away from devices and underneath the warm sun. With an option to add a boat dock on the grand canal, you will have a true beach-to-bay property. A short walk to Siesta Village and an array of island cuisine, shopping and night life, the lot is your canvas to craft the ultimate getaway or continue a legacy of helping families connect with the beautiful natural splendor of the Gulf Coast.

Multi-Family District
The RMF Districts permit multifamily residential densities, which may take the form of a variety of housing types, including single-family detached, lot line, traditional, patio, villa, atrium, duplex, townhouse, multiplex, or apartment units. These districts are used in areas having convenient access to both collector and arterial streets, and nearby civic and commercial uses, as well as employment opportunities; The RMF Districts are generally used to implement the Comprehensive Plan within those areas shown as Medium Density Residential, High Density Residential, Office Multifamily Residential Areas and Corridors, and Town and Village Centers on the Future Land Use Map, on the Barrier Islands where the application of the district would not increase the density of development or hamper hurricane evacuation planning and disaster mitigation efforts, and Developments of Regional Impact. The RMF Districts, while not a primary implementing district, may also be allowed in Regional, Community, Village I, Village II, and Neighborhood Commercial Centers. Appropriate densities within the Medium Density and High Density Residential areas shall be guided by the density ranges as outlined in Future Land Use Policy 1.1.1, Objective 2.3, and Policy 2.3.1 of the Comprehensive Plan. These densities shall also be determined, in part, by the land use designations and developed residential areas surrounding the parcel.
